Want to run an ad? Prices have gone way up because you're the only one that's clinging to the old model. Want to pay premium to hire someone better?
You can't, your competitor can because they have turned to subscriptions.
In many cases your hand is forced.
Customers vote with their wallets and social shares. If you find a product that it a one time purchase, then you should share it, post about it since you will be rewarding the company, for they sure are not able to compete on customer acquisition.
